Interestingly enough the large awkward forehead on the 4, looks less so on the xl size might have something to with the 4 compact and narrow size vs the xl
The oled is a nice, bright display and while the pixel density is not the highest, it certainly is enough on a screen this size.
I do not have large hands, so I actually prefer the smaller size of the Pixel 4
- it was too big, and too heavy for my little hands (literally ended up in constant pain using it - I am a heavy user, self employed live in G-Suite etc etc).Instead of replacing it with another one I decided to 'full Google' with the much smaller Pixel 4.Why Pixel 4?- Perfect size, gorgeous to feel and
I find the lg g8 is the perfect size phone with good one handed use and enough screen real estate to make searching comfortable.
Earlier I used one plus and it has fast charging feature I used to charge my phone in 30
Supposably wireless fast charging has been enabled on this device although not listed in the specifications
Wireless charging is not fast, about 0.9 amps, compared to a fast charger which charges at nearly 3 amps (~1 hr full charge time) but it turns the phone into a hotplate and could affect battery life
but Google pixel fast charging takes more than 1 hour to charge
And since Google changed The label you can't actually tell if it's fast charging or not
This is an area which can make or break a device for me.
Amazing device, don’t know why there was so much hate from the Tech reviewers
The Pixel 4 is a attractive, elegant device constructed of tempered glass in aluminum casing.
There are a lot of good Android devices out there, and really you can’t go wrong with most of them, but if you are thinking about the Pixel 4 or 4XL don’t let the haters steer you away.
I was debating as if the device will look good or not...
Android 10 is great, and so is the pure Android experience
The only good thing is the camera and the pure Android experience
I loved this phone because the software is pure android and refresh
I've never owned a more fragile Android phone
If you feel the problem with today's mobiles is that they just work too well, then you'll be pleased to know that the Pixel 4 is as bad and in many cases worse than the expensive Android and iPhone bricks of 10 years ago.
Real waste of ninet, the company was stupid enough to include useless features that not even supposed in all counties
None of the good features matter when I'm constantly having to charge the phone
Pixel 4 has many good software features like live caption and smart call recognition to avoid spam calls
However, I did disable features that I don't have a need for
As it is, the feature is quite annoying, since if i have to remove my sunglasses, not to mention shave, to get it to work, then that's not going to happen
: Most Android apps still do not support face unlock as biometic access, my OG Pixel's fingerprint was way more ubiquitous
The face ID itself is worth mentioning, it's surprisingly accurate and fast, but so many apps don't support it yet and having to enter passwords for banks & stuff seems like something that we had left behind, but with the lack of fingerprint and the lack of
No fingerprint sensor, unsecure face unlock, a small battery that is exacerbated by a 90hz refresh rate, no ultra wide camera mode, gimmicky motion sense radar chip with the same functionality of a phone from six years ago (Samsung S4) and $1000 for 128GB.You blew it Google
In absence of other biometric options, a crappy face unlock isn’t ideal
The only downfall I would say is that if you are constantly using your phone then yes the battery does die faster and the only other issue is there is no headphone jack you have to buy a certain type that is an C part capable
The internal audio speakers are reasonable though not what I've experienced and come to expect from high-end devices at this price-point
The speakers are loud and the only downfall honestly is the battery
Dual speakers make the sound almost too loud at times, which is not a bad thing.
It has pretty powerful stereo speakers for a cell phone, but they are still cell phone speakers, and they haven't partnered with an audio company to upgrade sound like e.g. ASUS, Lenovo, HTC have.
I've sent it to Google twice for repairs and, while they have fixed the faulty speaker, they haven't been able to make the phone connect to any networks or stop the device from randomly resetting
Fack unlock: there is no fingerprint sensor and some people will bemoan the loss of it but the face unlock works reliably and quickly.
Although people will be frustrated that it doesn't have two cameras on front and 3 cameras on back (the wide angle cameras), the front camera is already has a very wide FOV, much wider than the iPhone X, which made it an instant upgrade for me, not to mention the quality was much better
Some people complain about the lack of a wide angle camera but I can always do a panorama.
People seem unduly worried about the security of this feature, I'm not sure why except maybe for the unlock while you're asleep
People love to nitpick at every little thing with items they buy lately
Unfortunately motion sense did not work in my country, but I think some day it will
Motion sense is a gimmick with no added convinience, and rather a battery drainer
No fingerprint sensor, unsecure face unlock, a small battery that is exacerbated by a 90hz refresh rate, no ultra wide camera mode, gimmicky motion sense radar chip with the same functionality of a phone from six years ago (Samsung S4) and $1000 for 128GB.You blew it Google
Motion sense will not work in unsupported countries ( there
